Re: Beer. Not shit beer. Good beer.

If it can keep lines efficient at a ball park, I think it's a great idea. I have been to bars that have self-serve tap built into the tables as well. Unless you really want to talk to somebody to get suggestions or to just bullshit, there is almost reason to reason to have bartenders serving beer at all, save for technical issues.

Re: Beer. Not shit beer. Good beer.

So last night a buddy and I decided to go to Total Wine and create our own six pack of beers we've never had before and split each one.

Started off with Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard. It basically just tastes like the regular one with Oak flavor to it. It's not any better or worse then the regular but I would drink again.

The Dudes Double Trunk. My favorite of the night by far. Has a citrus/tropical taste to it. High ABV at 10.8% but hides the alcohol taste really well. Would recommend it

Abita Purple Haze. This one was decided on pure name alone without actually looking at it was. Was a raspberry ale. I'm not a big fan of overpowering fruit taste so I wasn't that big into it but for what it was it was decent enough.

Oskar Blues Old Chub NITRO. Have had the original Old Chub before. This basically tasted the same as the regular but a lot smoother. Easiest one to drink because of it smoothness even with it's 8% ABV. If you like the regular one I would recommend it.

Hazed and Infused from Boulder Beer Co. Had a caramel taste to it but other then that was just your standard Pale Ale. It was good but didn't stand out as anything special to me.

Golden Road Get Up Offa That Brown. Very good choice to end with. Has a nutty and chocolate taste to it. Easy to drink. If you are one for Brown Ales I don't see who you wouldn't like this one.

From a press release:

"OLD CHUB NITRO utilizes an existing widget technology developed by Ball. The Nitro widget is attached to the bottom of the can and is charged with liquid nitrogen during the filling process. The widget releases the nitrogen when the can is opened, liberating the cascading creamy smooth nitro pour."

And apparently they have been releasing small batch canned "nitro" versions of Dale's Pale, G'Knight, and a couple others since 2009.

Double Trunk has been a go-to for me lately, it's really good and at $10.99 for a 6 pack of 16oz cans and 10.8% abv, it's some of the best bang for your buck right now.

Looked around for a 6 pack but was only to find 4 packs for that same price. I still think it's a good bang for your buck even with the 4 though.

My birthday tomorrow so I picked up that and also got some Pranqster which I've never had before.

So I am moving to New Mexico in a few weeks so I am just trying to get some local brews while I still have easy access to them. What are some other good local Southern California breweries I should try before I leave?

Re: Beer. Not shit beer. Good beer.

My buddy from the east cost mailed me these three for my birthday about a week ago. I plan on aging them a bit as they are all bourbon-barrel aged stouts.

the Message he sent: "First up, Brooklyn's Black Ops is a crazy BBAS bottle conditioned with champagne yeast. Second, Founders' KBS is a crazy delicious chocolate/coffee/oatmeal stout aged in BBs and one of my favorites. And lastly, Bell's Black Note is a beer that we only got one case of, and we're only one of thirteen accounts in the entire state that got one. Two years ago there was a knife fight over this beer, in Michigan, where the goddamn thing is brewed."
